- the first protective layer 12 comprises an inner bag 16 for receiving the proximal end 51 of the catheter 50 , having a front side 18 and a backside 20 , where the front side 18 has an opening 22 therethrough.
- a moisture absorbent material 24 Positioned and affixed within the front side opening 22 is a moisture absorbent material 24 , where the moisture absorbent material 24 comprises a substantially centrally positioned slit 26 therethrough.
- the moisture absorbent material 24 can comprise conventional absorbent paper, fiber, or cloth materials.
- the moisture absorbent material 24 can also be treated with appropriate agents to inhibit the development of bacterium, fungi, viruses, and other infectious agents. Additionally, the absorbent material 24 can include conventional agents that trap, stabilize or otherwise capture the moisture into a non-mobile form.
- the inner bag 16 further comprises a moisture resistant adhesive material 28 suitable for application to the patient's skin, where the adhesive material 28 is applied to the outer surface of the front side 18 of the inner bag 16 , substantially surrounding the opening 22 , without discontinuity such that a protective seal can be formed when the inner bag 16 is applied to the patient's skin.
- the inner bag 16 is rectangular, circular, elliptical, or other suitable shape.
- the opening 22 is rectangular, circular, elliptical, or other suitable shape.
- the adhesive material 28 is covered by a removable release layer, such that the catheter 50 may be inserted into the inner bag 16 without adhering to the adhesive material 28 .
- the inner bag 16 further comprises an annular ring 32 , where the annular ring 32 is affixed about the opening 22 of the inner bag 16 .
- the annular ring 32 is made of a flexible material capable of conforming to the surface of a patient's skin.
- the second protective layer 14 comprises an outer cover 34 having a peripheral edge 36 that when adhered to the patients skin, surrounds the inner bag 16 .
- a moisture resistant adhesive material 28 suitable for application to the patient's skin is applied to the peripheral edge 36 without discontinuity such that a protective seal can be formed when the outer cover 34 is applied to the patient's skin.
- the outer cover 34 can be of any size so long as the inner bag 16 is encompassed within the peripheral edge 36 .
- the outer cover 34 can be sized for application around a patient's waist, shoulder, torso or extremity.
- the second protective layer 14 is rectangular, circular, elliptical, or other suitable shape.
- the outer cover 34 further comprises an annular ring 38 , where the annular ring 38 is affixed about the peripheral edge 36 of the outer cover 34 .
- the annular ring 38 is made of a flexible material capable of conforming to the surface of a patient's skin.
- the inner bag 16 is affixed to the outer cover 34 , where the top edge 21 of the protected bag 16 is affixed to the outer cover 34 .
- a catheter 50 is inserted into the inner bag 16 by inserting the proximal end 51 of the catheter 50 though the slit 26 in the absorbent material 24 .
- the catheter 50 is drawn into the inner bag 16 until the absorbent material 24 abuts the catheter 50 exit site and surrounding area.
- the inner bag 16 is secured in position by the adhesive material 28 contacting with the patient's skin forming a protective seal.
- the outer cover 34 is positioned over the inner bag 16 , such that the inner bag 16 is positioned with the peripheral edges 36 of the outer cover 34 .
- the outer cover 34 can be sized for application around a patient's torso or extremity.
- the outer cover 34 is secured in position by the adhesive material 28 contacting the patient's skin, such that the outer cover 34 forms a protective seal about the inner bag 16 , protecting the inner bag 16 from moisture, dirt, and debris.
- Catheter Protective Shield in the form of an Inner Pouch and Outer Tarp
- the protective shield consists of an inner plastic pouch whose opening is surrounded by a medical grade absorbent material, which is surrounded by a medical grade adhesive that attaches to the patient.
- the medical grade absorbent material covering the opening of the pouch will trap and hold fluid penetrating the adhesive barriers affording an additional level of protection in preventing fluid from reaching the inside of the pouch.
- the pouch is of adequate size to accept the end of a medical device existing the body.
- the protective shield further comprises an attached outer plastic tarp which covers the pouch, where the edged of the tarp is surrounded with medical grade adhesive, that adheres to the patient, diverting the flow of fluid away from the opening of the pouch.
- the protective shield is designed to be used by patients with medical devices exiting their bodies while they shower, bath, swim or perform activities where the device exist site from the body is at risk of coming into contact with excessive fluid and/or debris.
- the adhesive is covered by a protective peel, allowing the patient to insert the medical device through the absorbent material, into the pouch, without the adhesive sticking to the patient, tarp, pouch, or medical device.
- the protective peel is removed once the medical device is inserted through the absorbent material and the pouch is adhered to the skin. Similarly, once the pouch is in position, the protective peel is removed from the tarp and the tarp is adhered to the skin, over the pouch.
- the protective shield provides three layers of protection for the medical device and exit site.
- the first layer of protection is the tarp, directing the flow of water and/or debris away from the pouch.
- the second layer of protection is the adhesive on the pouch, which protects and seals the area surrounding the exit site.
- the third layer of protection is the adsorbent material. If water should be present in the opening of the pouch, the absorbent material will absorb it. Further, the absorbent material can be treated so as to inhibit any development of bacterium, fungi, viruses, and other infectious agents.
